Working merch basically means you are willing to show up at least 30 minutes before the doors open, help Aaron (Matt’s Tour Manager) set up the merch table, sell merch during the show and for a bit afterwards. In exchange for your service, you will get into the show for FREE. This works best if you and a friend (or friends) come together to work the merch table and all volunteer for the night.

If interested, please e-mail Kevin at Kmichelsen_intern@nettwerk.com. Be sure to include your age and phone number. In addition, please indicate the show date and city in the subject line of your e-mail.
